"We at Aero-News are totally opposed to a program that
will cost pilots $1.9 billion, but for which the TSA cannot
quantify the benefits. We're also concerned that while the proposed
program includes aircraft as small as 12,500 pounds, it's
conceivable that the TSA might expand the program in the future to
cover all aircraft. We're all for having security and freedom.
However this program seems to provide no increase in security while
greatly decreasing the utility of aircraft to fly freely where and
when they want. Please let your elected representatives know how
you feel!"
